I’m so excited to share my new cookbook, Don’t Skip Dessert Volume 2, with you. When I embarked on writing this long-awaited follow up to the first Don’t Skip Dessert, my goal was to assemble a collection of recipes that would appeal to those on SCD™ or other similar diet like GAPS Diet, Paleo, or just grain-free who are looking for special desserts they could genuinely enjoy.
I’m so proud of this book. It contains a wide variety of dessert from the simple to the most decadent. I wanted something that surpassed “special diet,” that would be delicious in its own right. So many of my favorite desserts are inside this book:.
- Strawberry Shortcake
- White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Skillet Cookie
- Peanut Butter Frozen Bananas
- Vanilla Cake with Cashew Butter Cream Frosting
- Caramel Cookie Betwixt Bars
- SCD Magic Bars
- Peanut Butter Cream Pie
- And so many more!
Some of these recipes are for things I never thought I would get to eat again, like my Magic Bars. Figuring out how to keep the cocoa butter chocolate chunks from dissolving was a challenge, but I conquered it.

Is Don’t Skip Dessert Volume 2 a Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ cookbook?
Yes, every recipe in Don’t Skip Dessert Volume 2 is written for the SCD™ diet. Some recipes are for those who may be at the beginning of their SCD™ diet journey and many are more advanced. Included is a recipe guide, indicating what recipes are egg-free, nut-free, and dairy-free.
Don’t Skip Dessert Volume 2 also includes how-to’s for basics that go into the recipes like lemon curd, labneh, heavy cream yogurt, nut butters, and frostings and glazes.
Does this cookbook apply to other diets?
I tried to make my recipes enjoyable for anyone, but it is geared for anyone following a gain-free diet. This book is suitable for GAPS Diet and most recipes are either Paleo friendly or can easily be converted with simple substitutions. The book includes a substitution guide for dietary needs and Paleo substitutions.



Who is this cookbook for?
This book is for anyone looking for delicious desserts that use grain-free ingredients and are made without refined sugar. Every recipe is crafted with a focus on flavor, proving that desserts can be health-conscious and delicious at the same time. Don’t Skip Dessert Volume 2 contains a wide variety of desserts including:
- Cakes
- Donuts
- Frozen Treats
- Cookies
- Bars
- and more!
I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do!
